PHOTO OF THE WEEK ~~ 20/7/08

Does this look like a Palestinian child? I’m sure there will be an investigation into this mishap…An Israeli soldier caught in tear gas fired by a member of his unit, reacts during a protest by Palestinians and international activists, against Israel’s separation barrier in the West Bank village Nilin, near Modi’in.

OK – what am I missing? Photo of the week?? What is so spectacular about an Israeli soldier in a cloud of tear gas.

It’s not like this gas is Zyklon B.

What gives?”

Of course Ron, you are ASSuming that it is only tear gas which will peel the skin off a child’s face … so it’s all OK? Right Ron, just a little tear gas.

I think the funny part is that it’s not melting the skin on a Palestinian child’s face, it’s a part of American Humor called “Homicidal Humor”, or “Gallows Humor”. Lot’s of good American literature and humor on homicide, haven’t you noticed. America is the land of horror, pain, murder, torture, and oh yeah … freedom.
